Bondi Winter Magic Festival 2014

Overview

Bondi Beach conjures images of burning hot sand and bikini-clad bodies seeking solace from the sweltering Sydney heat. One does not exactly picture a festival dedicated to winter.

Bondi Winter Magic Festival is that festival. Ice-skating is on offer, yes, but there are also other exciting community events going on, ranging from busking competitions to open-air art galleries.

Art on the Streets invites local artists to be part of a curated open-air gallery. You can participate, watch art being made and purchase any artwork that tickles your fancy. Chalk up the Streets encourages the community to decorate Bondi's footpaths until their hearts content.

Bondi Winter Magic kicks off on June 27. Festivities will be running all day, and into the night. And when you are done with all that winter appreciation, you have an array of Bondi cuisine at your doorstep, for some well-earned grub.
